South Korean Police performed a warrant for the arrest of your president. The detainee Jun Suk Jeol declared that although he gave himself up to the authorities, he did not approve of their investigations. Earlier, a group of investigators had to forcely enter the residence of the head of state, attempting to execute a court order to detain her.
The president of South Korea was arrested. The investigation services of this country confirmed that the arrest warrant issued by the court on 7 January was executed present at 2:33 Polish time. Jun Suk Jeol was transferred to the office of the Corruption Office among the top-ranking officials (CIO), where further actions are to be carried out. The CIO has 48 hours to interview the President, then has to apply for a restraining order for 20 days or release.
Before he was arrested, the president had already recorded a message that was then sent to the media. The politician convinced him that neither the authorities investigating him nor the courts issuing them arrest warrants had the power to do so. – I decided to appear before CIO, even though this is an illegal investigation to prevent bloodshed. However, this does not mean that I approve of their investigation – said
Police admitted that during the arrest attempt, which began at around 21 p.m. Polish time, the protection service of the president did not make their actions much more difficult. Initially, there was a nearly two-hour deadlock, during which there was a brief push between the people forming the cordon through the main gate leading to the complex, where the head of state is located. Investigators then got into the guardhouse at the gate of Jun's residence, and after short negotiations they were allowed into the building.
Meanwhile, supporters of Jun began to gather in front of the Yongsan presidential complex from the early morning hours, who responded to the news of the arrest by crying. The president consistently defends his decision to introduce martial law, explaining that he wanted to defend South Korean dissmocracy from sympathizers of the communist government from the north. The opposition MPs, however, claim that this was a coup d'état, and so applied for the impeachment of the head of state who was voted out on 14 December.
Since then, the Constitutional Tribunal has 180 days to decide whether to approve Jun's appeal or to reinstate him. The first proceeding in this case lasted only 4 minutes, as the leader failed to appear on it. Another is scheduled for Thursday, and as announced, it will take place whether the president appears or not.
Several elder officials have already been arrested in connection with their function in the introduction of martial law, including military commanders and erstwhile defence minister Kim Jong Hjun.
